The 9th Asian Winter Games kicked off with a vibrant opening ceremony on Friday evening, embracing the theme "Dream of Winter, Love among Asia." This marks the third time China has hosted the Games, following Harbin previously hosting in 1996 and Changchun in 2007. Against the backdrop of winter wonder and dazzling lights, Harbin – known as China's "Ice City" – set the stage for over 1,200 athletes from 34 countries and regions. These athletes will compete in ice events in Harbin and snow events in Yabuli, celebrating the spirit of unity and competition across Asia.
